| Kimber Illuminations D-60 vs. Stereovox XV2 cable Get the Stereovox XV2 over the D-60. There's a reason that Chris made the XV2 to compete with the D-60. | |
| Integrateds: Sim I-7, BAT 300xSE, Pass I have heard the C1's with the Sim I-7 and it sounded really good, good enough that I wouldn't have a problem buying the setup. Unfortunately I've haven't heard the other two with the C1's. | |
| pre-amp or power amp with integrated? Does it have left and right jumpers labeled 'Pre Out - Main In' or something to that effect? If it does then yes you can.It looks like you can at least add a power amp. | |
| My speakers don't "dissapear" First of all, burn in your equipment. Put either a burn-in disc, a CD with a lot of high and low synthesizer, or heavy metal CD on repeat and let it play 24/7 for 2-3 weeks. Keep changing the music once or twice a day. When you go to work, if you ... | |
| Dream State Audio power cords...... Check out my system. The Dream State Lucid on my SS integrated amp is awesome. I will add this too, when I have all Dream State power cords in my system, there is a magical holographic image of the soundstage in front of me. Take one out, and it d... | |
| Used speakers for $3k? Oh the confusion My personal favorites are the Meadowlark Osprey and Thiel 2.4, although the Thiel need power, room and maybe a too narrow window for what you want. The Osprey, if you can find a pair, are fantastic speakers.Chuck | |
| Pick your poison... I agree with Dave: the B&K and Dynaudio's.I've got an older B&K pre-amp/tuner and amp hooked up to the TV. I put it in my main system when a tube went out in my Herron pre-amp, blowing the Herron monoblocks. The B&K equipment is really... | |
| Tweaks that convince others you're truly nuts... First, the Acoustic System Resonators. They're resonators, just as your Hallographs. When I first got mine, I brought one to work and the head Metallurgist saw it. I told him of the designer's claim, and he told me that that's exactly what those m... | |
| Selling to Canadians I've had no problems shipping to Canada, or Europe. You need to do it through the US Post Office. On the forms you have to fill out you have to declare the value, and the duty will be paid by the buyer when they receive it. It's a smooth transacti... | |
| Anyone permanently convert from tubes to SS? Karan, and I've never looked back. | |
| Best Integrated, period. I really like my Karan KA I-180. | |
| budget component in high-end system? A little more than a year ago, for 3-4 weeks I pulled my old B&K PT-3 preamp ($600.00) and B&K ST-1400 Mk II amp ($700.00) out of the closet and inserted them into my system while my tube preamp ($5,000.00) and monoblocks ($6,000.00) were ... | |
| Cables for my system? Just another note, the reason that I brought it up about John's cables is because John is very experienced and knowledgeable in the hobby. He's helped me quite a few times before with his thoughts and advice, and I believe that he would never stee... | |
| Cables for my system? I'm not trying to act as a salesman or push you into something, but John ( Jmcgrogan2 above ) has his Stealth Metacarbon IC's and Hybrid MLT SC's, which are excellent cables, for sale right now at a good price. IF those would give you the sound th... | |
| Cables for my system? Rene, If you are in Europe, I'd suggest what I have: the Supra Sword Speaker cables or Duelund 2.0 speaker cables and the Duelund 2.0 interconnects.Chuck |
